At the latest stop in Sky's Bench Across Britain series, workers in the agriculture sector shared what they want to see from the next government.
The Cheshire Show is a world away from Westminster - but amid the agriculture machinery displays, the pony club races and pens with the best of British livestock, we have smuggled our unwieldy parliamentary bench to an industry at the mercy of changing weather and politics. On the seat of power in a sheep pen in a far corner of the show, Ruth Howard, a ruminant nutritionist, laments the rising price of animal food.
Mr Brown says: 'The main problem is the government thinking through the policies they're bringing out, making sure that we can firstly feed everybody and bring environmental schemes out that make sense, use areas which we can't grow food on, rather than letting land go, which is prime land for producing food.' Andrew Dutton, from Cheshire Farm Machinery, says his sales are down this year due to the wet spring that has dulled crop and produce yields.
